(I) Test for Inhibition of Urinating Contraction of Bladder

With respect to inhibition of the urinating contraction of bladder, performance of the compound of the present invention was evaluated by the following method.

Method

A male Wistar rat was anesthetized with urethane (1.5 g/kg, s.c.) and fixed on its back on a board. Into the trachea of the rat, a tracheotomy tube was inserted in order to insure an airway, and then midline incisura was carried out to denude the bladder. Subsequently, a small opening was produced on the top of the bladder and the urine was exhausted, and then a polyethylene cannula (diameter: approx. 1 mm) was inserted into the bladder. The urethra and the ureter were tied up to make the bladder a closed system.

By means of an infusion pump, phsiological saline was poured into the bladder of rat at a rate of 0.05 ml/min. induce the rhythmic bladder contraction. Subsequently, intravesical pressure was measured by a pressure transducer and recorded on a pen-writing recorder. The test compound was dissolved in physiological saline and then administered into the femoral vein through a polyethylene cannula.

Evaluation

Performance for inhibiting the urinary bladder contraction was evaluated by measuring the period (inhibiting period) in which the rhythmic bladder contraction was inhibited. As the medicament, each of the compounds obtained in Examples was used. Each of the measured inhibiting periods is set forth in Table 1.

As is evident from the results in Table 1, the compounds of the invention are effective for inhibiting the urinating contraction.

(II) Effect on Isolated Urinary Bladder Smooth Muscle

Method

Urinary bladder strips were obtained from male Japanese white rabbits (weight: 2.00-2.80 kg). Each strip was suspended in an organ bath containing Krebs solution. The organ bath was maintained at 37° C. and constantly gassed with carbogen. Cumulative concentration-response curves of acetylcholine and norepinephrine were obtained.

The compound to be tested (compound of Example 2 (i.e., 5-benzyl-3-(3-morpholino-1-phenylpropyl)-1,3-oxazolidin-2-one fumarate) was introduced into the Krebs solution five minutes prior to the introduction of acetylcholine or norepinephrine to elicit the contractive action.

Evaluation

The pretreatment of the tested compound at a concentration in the range of 1×10⁻⁵ to 3×10⁻⁵ did not give any effective action on the contraction caused by acetylcholine and norepinepherine. Therefore, it has been confirmed that the tested compound depresses the bladder contraction not by acting on the peripheral nerves system but on the central nerves system.

Thus, the alkylenediamine derivative of the formula (1) and its pharmaceutically acceptable salt can be favorably employed as a remedy for dysuria.

The remedy for dysuria of the invention can be used either in a general preparation form for oral administration or in the form for parenteral administration such as injections and suppositories. Preparation forms for oral administration may be tablets, capsules, powder, granules, syrup and the like. Preparation forms for parenteral administration may be injections and suppositories and the like. For the formulation of these preparations, excipients, disintegrants, binders, lubricants, pigments, diluents and the like which are commonly employed in the art may be used. The excipients may include dextrose, lactose and the like. Starch, carboxymethylcellulose calcium and the like may be used as the disintegrants. Magnesium stearate, talc and the like may be used as the lubricants. The binders may be hydroxypropylcellulose, gelatin, polyvinylpyrrolidone and the like.

The dose may usually be about 0.1 mg/day to 10.0 mg/day in the case of an injectable preparation and about 1.0 mg/day to 500 mg/day in the case of oral administration, both for an adult. The dose may be either increased or decreased depending upon the age and conditions of patients.

The remedy for dysuria of the invention is a centrally acting medicament which does not lower the blood pressure and which selectively acts on the bladder.

The following examples further illustrate the present invention in more detail.

The stirred mixture was placed under reduced pressure to evaporate the solvent. Water was added to the residue, and extraction with ethyl acetate was performed. The extract was washed with a saturated aqueous brine and dried over anhydrous sodium sulfate. The dried extract was placed under reduced pressure to remove the solvent. The oily residue was placed on silica gel column and eluated with ethyl acetate/methanol (20/1) to yield the desired diastereomer A (168 mg, 21.3%) and diastereomer B (156 mg, 19.8%).
